A region near Egypt. When Rehoboam turned away from God, God disciplined him, and at that time, it attacked the kingdom of Judah.
2 Chr 12:1When Rehoboam's kingdom was established and strong, he abandoned the law of the Lord, and all Israel followed suit.2 Chr 12:2Because they had sinned against the Lord, in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, King Shishak of Egypt came up against Jerusalem.2 Chr 12:3He had twelve hundred chariots and sixty thousand horsemen; and the people who came with him from Egypt—the Libyans, the Sukkiim, and the Cushites—were without number.
